Resumen
Las desigualdades sociales y sus consecuentes asimetrías de poder que se dan en todas las sociedades entre la elite y el resto de las personas comunes constituyen, aún hoy en pleno siglo XXI, un problema central para las ciencias sociales críticas. Tomando en cuenta este bagaje científico y social, esta investigación consiste en explicar, sociológicamente, el lado oculto de la gestión empresarial anticrisis, desde una lectura crítica de las desigualdades sociales y las asimetrías de poder en las grandes corporaciones. Para el logro satisfactorio de este objetivo, se hizo uso de una metodología hermenéutica y documental basada en la recopilación de fuentes académicas de comprobado valor científico. Entre las ideas más relevantes de las conclusiones, se muestra que, en su proyecto científico, la sociología crítica y contrahegemónica debe desmontar los “mitos institucionales” (eficiencia y meritocracia) que legitiman la desigualdad corporativa, proponiendo indicadores cualitativos alternativos de valor económico, que incluyan, en igualdad de condiciones, bienestar laboral y sostenibilidad comunitaria.
